 Vlaurkir's horde. In order to diminish their numbers and gain much

 needed arms, I will reward you with gold for equipment taken from
 slain Vlaurkans. There is big money to be earned - our best seller,
 the heroic and noble Kir, has so far made 663393 coins!
 So please, come to Minbara and help us in our dire time of need!

On Tue Apr 17 13:45:15 2001 I had an interview with the famous
Moon Slightly muscular Initiate of the Sixth Circle
Below is a literal representation of that conversation.

Shorleck: Tell something about yourself outside MS, what nationality
          are you, what do you do in your spare time from ms anything
          you want to share with us ?
Moon: I'm Celestial's crash-test dummy.  I normally sit packed in a
      brown paper box sitting in foam until Celestial fetches me to do
      weird things.

Shorleck: What is your favorite place within the realms of MS ?
Moon: My favourite place would have to be idling in the main guild
      room of any guild.  All guilds are interesting, I like the one
      with pointy hats but if I don't behave they give me busy beards.
      Also frolicking in the trees and gardens is nice.  The other

Page 5

      guilds are pretty neat too, everyone seems very friendly, I do
      anything to spend time with mortals, especially if its time away
      from that nasty, evil Celestial!

Shorleck: What place do you hardly ever go to and why not ?
Moon: If I had a choice, I wish I could not go to Celestial's
      workroom.  He does mean and terrible things to me.  He gets me
      to slay monsters and dragon that he conjures from nowhere.  One
      day, he wasn't even nice enough to say "I can go now and quit". 
      He turned on me and disintegrated me with his wizard powers.

Shorleck: From all the quests you did, which one did you enjoy the
          most, what made it special ?
Moon: The only quest I have seen is Vlandore's Quest.  It's pretty
      nice. Celestial let me wander around even when it was under
      construction and I got to talk to a lot of the townsfolk, some

Page 6

      of them don't exist any more or got severely altered afterwards.
      Still they're a friendly lot.

Shorleck: What is your favourite weapon and why ?
Moon: In terms of combat and weapons and stuff.  I got to see a lot of
      interesting stuff.  But, I have never seen anything that will
      aid me in getting my freedom from my wicked master.  Help!

Shorleck: Which monster is your biggest enemy ?
Moon: Silly of you to ask.  My biggest monster is my
      creator/controller/master. He has me on a leash, and he keeps me
      trapped in a cardboard box!  Weren't you listening?  I guess I
      don't really need to breathe air - but, still can't he cut two
      eyeslits in the box so I can peer into the world?  Oh, the
      tragedy of it all.  *sniffles*

Shorleck: What goals have you set for yourself here in MS, are you
          here for chatting or you want to play or striving for
          wizhood ?
Moon: I wish to be set free, that's all I ask!

Shorleck: Is there anything else you would like to add ?
Moon: Celestial has me trapped in the newspaper room this very minute.
      Is there anybody out there?!  Please help, rescue me!!!  I'll
      give you anything, I've got 80 hours of experience in testing
      and have been sent on 13 suicide missions, and I am sure
      somebody out there has a use for these qualities. Please,
      help!..!...!....  *dragged away*


Here ended our conversation. I wish to thank Moon
for him cooperation and wish him a lot of happy hunting.
